Students delight in creating unique and funny sentence patterns using a 1-2-3 step strategy. Students use cards marked ’1’ to choose the subject of their sentence, cards with ‘2’ are the action words, and cards with location words are tagged ‘3’. Put together the subject, verb, and location cards and make a new sentence each time. Teaching writing in your Grade 1-3 French Immersion class has never been easier.

What to do:

Make a class set of the cards, laminate, and cut.

Place a few copies of the 1-2-3 writing template sheet into clear pockets or give students an individual worksheet to work on.

Watch students delight in creating new and unique sentences as they build confidence in their French writing skills.

Vocabulary included: La Mère Noël, Le Père Noël, Le garçon, La fille, Le renne, Le nain, descend, porte, vole, place, grimpe, mange, une boule, un ange, un cadeau, un sac de jouets, un bas, une étoile, un biscuit, un pain d’épice, une canne de Noël, une chandelle, un chocolat chaud, des lumières, dans la cheminée, dans le bas, dans le ciel, dans le traineau, dans le foyer, dans l’arbre

How to prepare this resource:

Make a few copies of the template page, insert into clear pockets, dry erase pocket, or use as individual worksheets and watch as the giggles get started. Make a copy of the story cards, laminate, and cut. My students LOVE these activities. I cannot make them fast enough.

There is a little cutting and laminating involved with this activity but many use clear folders to make your job easier!

Perfect for a sub binder, emergency plans, or as a back up activity when you happen to have a few minutes to spare. A great set to have on hand as an extra centre activity at Xmas time. Your K-3 Immersion students will love them!

When to use this resource in the classroom:

These activity sheets are Christmas themed and can be used for the entire month of December and even into the week following Halloween. Students love using them and they can be helpful for follow-up assessment. Just in time for progress reporting period!
